less disturbance of commercial inter sts than
1 had anticipated. and am satisfied that the
law is growing in favor every day." No
doubt the law is growing in favor with the
people, but is it with the railroads. Another
statement of Senator Cullom would seem to
indicate that it is not, for he said: II wish
the railroad commissioners, both national
and State, to know chat word comes to me
that some of the railroads are working back
into their old habit of paying rebates by one
device or another, and thereby unjustiy dis
eliminating between persons. 1t is the bus
mess of the commission to be on the alert,
and to deal unsparingly with the officers and
agents of any road guilty of such violation of
the law" Paying rebates means discriminate
ing rates, to prevent which was one of the
principal objects of the law.

not strictly first-class, even should Sullivan
inadvertently send a tub of maggots with
the small quantity of butter left out. Gapen,
of course, is connected with Sullivan through
Harrison, and this at once suggests son-in-
law Goulding and others. But we have said
enough to show how dangerous this ring is,
and how far-reaching it is in its operation.
It FORCES tally-sheets, chops open ballot boxes,
plumbers the township, uses, when it can, the
indianapolis police force TO protect law
breakers. holsters up the street-car monopoly,
controls the management of the benevolent
institutions, and is at present in command of
the entire Democratic party in Indiana. But
its day is coming and. when the people of
this State get good shot at it, there won't be
much of it left. Whether any of the mem
bers of the ring get behind the bars or not,
they will soon be powerless.

In the effort to prove President Cleveland a
great friend of the soldiers it has been as
serted that he has approved S63 private pen
sion acts while Grant in eight years approved
only ass, Hays in four years only sos, and
Garfield and Arthur in the same time only
1856. These figures are true, and without ex-
PLANTATION they seem to make good showing
for Cleveland. But they only part of
The truth, and the part that is suppressed is
very important. The whole truth is that
during the eight years of Grants presidency
Congress passed 49, private pension bills and
he approved every one of them. During Mr..
Hayes's presidency there were 303 private
pension bills passed and he approved them
svery one. During Mr.. Arthur's term there
we're 736 such bills passed and he approved
svery one of them. There have been passed
during Mr. Cleveland's term thus far 1,O21
private pension bills and he has vetoed 15S of

vetoed single private pension bill except

A wAsH1NeroN special to the Louisville

Courier-Journal says:
'Hon. G. C. Matson. of Indiana,
arrived last evening. He reports the
condition of the Democracy of that
State harmonious, Notwithstanding the
efforts of certain Republicans to make it APP
pear that there is division in the party, or
sympathy with the recent partisan attempt to
convict certain Democrats of alleged tally
sheet forgeries on the testimony of self-con-
fessed criminal named Perkins"
This must have been intended for the
marines at Washington. 1t won't do here,
where everybody knows there is deadly con-
fict going on between the honest men and
the thugs of the Democratic party. Mr..
Matson, like Senator Voorhees, would like to
make it appear that Sammy Perkins was the
only rascal in the Democratic party. Again
we remark, that won't do.

The situation in New York.

HiiiWAukee sentinel
The situation is very different from that OF the
New York mayorality election. Then there was
reason to fear George would carry the city, and
Republicans rushed to the support OF Hewitt
and elected him. Now there is reason to
fear the election of George in the State at large:
and the Republicans now realize that If they
had voted for Roosevelt for Mayor he would
have been elected. Therefore there will be
rush of Republicans to help out the Democratic
ticket The same situation will hold next year.
The Labor party is likely to poll least third
more votes in the State than the Prohibitlonsts,
and this will give the State to the Republicans.
